Spent NYE in Tokyo this year for the first time in my life. Turned out to be a hybrid kinda NYE with American style food for dinner, and then going out and getting plastered in the city with the rest of the crazy folks of Tokyo.

The spread for the evening. Simple Bagna càuda dip with plenty of veggies, smoked salmon mousse over baguette with light citrus sauce.

Of course a big chunk of meat with cream corn on the side

Some African American dude on TV names “Jero” singing Enka (genre of Japanese popular songs). During this song festival thing they do every year, where the popular singers of the year battle it out boys vs girls.

What Tokyo Tower looked like at night. Sorry for the blurred pic, going home drunk didnt help the focus.

I didn’t know this, but apparently on the 31st of Dec, the trains in Tokyo which usually stop at around midnight, run all night so everyone can still get home. Lil tid-bit for those who might be in town during new years in Tokyo.
